Automobile Drivers And Motor Cycle Rldera Must l'*e JndpneBt Considerable interest fa centered in the new automobile law, And quite a nnmber of people have inquired as to the provisions it contains. Section 10 of the new Jaw is rather broad at first glance, bnt it qualifies itself all right, and the penalty provided is a fine of |800. It Bays:- "No person shall drive a motor ve­ hicle or motor bicyclS upon any public highway in the state at a greater speed than is reasonable and proper, having regard to the traffic and nee of the way, or so as to endanger the life or limb or injure the property of any person." That looks as tho nearly everything is left to the jndgment of the driver; but the law goes on to state how fast such vehicles may be driven, and it de­ clares to exceed the speed specified is prima facie evidence that the operator is running at a greater speed than ia reasonable. In residence sections of cities, towns and villages the speed must not exceed ten miles an hour. In residence districts the speed must not exceed fifteen miles an hour. On public high way Bv outside of cities, towns and villages, speed must not ex­ ceed twenty miles an hour. In turning corners the speed must not exceed six miles an hour. This last provision could perhaps catch more drivers than any of the others. It is violated every day in McHenry and also in every other city. In case of a second violation within six months the offender may be fined double the amount of the fine for the first offense and his license may be taken away for sixty days. A third violation within six months after the second calls for a double fine and the taking away of the license for six months. To operate the machine after a license has been revoked will invoke a fine of not to exceed $200 or thirty days' imprisonment in the county jail, or both. The law provides that fines for violat­ ing the law on public highways outside the cities shall be paid to the treasurer of the highway commission and used in keeping up the roads. Fines levied in cities must be used in the fund for re­ pairing the street, the fines levied for speeding in parks are to be used by the park boards in keeping up repairs on drives in parks. FLOCK OF SHEEP DITCH AUTO. WhJrMcHenry People Should In Pearl Hunting. Ucorge Brandis of Chicago Sheep South of Llbertyville, Runs Into That Pox river has pearls of value along its- banks and in its bottom has been shown lately by several discoveries nf near In montiim WftS tniulA in The Plaindealer, and there isn't a reason why local people should not get busy. There isn't any doubt but what there are hundreds of pearls lying in the river right herein McHenry, but, for some unaccountable reason, the people of this place have yet to become interested in pearl hunting. Here, however, is a reference in a Joliet paper which shows that the pearls are to be found in the river in large quantities and we may, ere long, have regularly organized pearl fishing hands searching for the valuables along the banks: "George B. Peterson has a collection of about 300 pearls, which he has taken from clam shells in tt|e waters of the Fox river and Aux Sable creek. The pearls range in size from a pin head to a pea and some of them are beautiful and very valuable. Mr. Peterson has obtained his collection in three trips inade^ expressly for the outing, and he has become so enraptured with the pur­ suit of the clams that he intends to keep it up. ' "I have been out to the F6x river and the Aux Sable creek only three times fishing for pearls," said Mr. Peterson, and this is what I have to show for it.' "With these words he poured the con­ tents of a package upon a cloth on his desk and scattered them about to show their fine points. Many of the pearki are very bright and beautiful and they would be appreciated by any lover of such things. Several were pointed out that are certainly very valuable, and one specimen in particular Mr. Peter­ son said he would not sell for $50. 'Any of these, even the small ones, are marketable,' said be, 'and the dealers in pearls will buy them at some price. That shows that there is something to the pearl business when one wants to pursue it for profit. " 'I do not care to sell these, however, at least not now. I have been going out to the river for a Sunday outing with my family and have had much fun wading in the water and picking up the clams. There are, hundreds of people looking for pearls all along the stream and it is very exciting and much like a rush to a new gold field.' " QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re­ sponsible for much sickness and suffering, €31 /uriiJp George Brandis, one of the head men of the Boston store, Chicago, met with a bad accident at Half Day, south of Libertyville, last Thursday, when he tried to buck a flock of sheep. In other words, Brandis feels that when he meets a flock of sheep hereafter he will steer clear of them and probably come to a dead standstill. He was approaching the sheep and thought they would clear out of the way, bnt, as all drivers of machines know, animals of this sort never make the move whic^i yon expect. So it was with Brandis, and the machine was ditched when it struck some of the sheep. There were five occupants and they were thrown into the ditch and all more or less braised. That nobody was killed is a wonder, for the machine was going fast and it turned oyer com pletely. Auto drivers must at all times be ware of sheep, cows and pigs--chickens and dogs usually look out for them­ selves. The machine pulled into McHenry about two hours after the accident o& curred, and the occupants were a limp­ ing bunch when they bit town. The damage to the machine was repaired and the jolly crowd left for Lake Geneva. 'Twas A Olorious Victory. There's rejoicing in Fedora, Tenn.

Your other organs may need at­ tention, but your kid­ neys most, because they do most and should have attention first.
